Welcome back to Boris Karloff month! Some of Boris Karloff's most interesting radio appearances were on the program Information Please, so I'm going to feature three of them on the blog. This time out, I'm looking at the broadcast from January 24, 1941. Information Please was a very interesting quiz program where listeners were encouraged to mail in questions and "stump the experts". In this broadcast, Karloff was one of two special guests, the other being Warden Lewis E. Lawes, author of the book 20,000 Years in Sing Sing. Karloff's specialty on Information Please proves to be fairy tales and nursery rhymes; the audience is quite surprised to find out how adept Karloff is on the subject! Little wonder he later recorded so many children's books! You can hear it at archive.org by clicking here!
